(More customer reviews)ASIN B003DA7TY4 - I want to love this thing, if only because I gave it as a gift and I hate when I give something that isn't awesome. This IS awesome, though it does have one flaw that really bugs me.
I've always hated the Foreman grills. They sell, in my opinion, only because of Foreman's name. They're not new, novel, inventive, unique... and they never were. The day they hit the shelves, I was using a five year old unit much like them, but better. So when I went shopping for an indoor grill and kept running into people pushing Foreman's grills, I was frustrated. Finally, I stumbled across the Kalorik in a store and asked about it, did a little online research and decided to take a chance.
The cooking surface is large, half griddle and half grill, and excess fat drains easily. The lid, which can act as a windbreak and serve as a handle too, is clear glass, making it easy to keep an eye on your food without having to open it all the time, letting heat out. It heats up quickly, cooks evenly and, with removable parts, cleans in a flash.
The only complaint I have is about the lid. When you lift it, the hinge sinks smoothly into a pocket, where it can stand upright. This is great, when you're cooking - no holding it with one hand and trying to do everything with the other, you've got two free hands! But, when you try to close it, it's not quite so smooth. You have to lift it from the pocket it's resting in and I've usually been unable to close it with one hand, so I'm forced to step away from the unit, set down what's in my hand, then return to close it. If you've got small kids or cats (dogs don't usually spend much time walking on counters), this can be a real problem. Not the worst problem in the world, but annoying, especially from a company that, according to their own site, is "synonymous with fine engineering".

Ideal for summertime grilling any time of year, this uniquely designed indoor/outdoor electric countertop grill features a generous cooking surface that can accommodate meals for both couples and small-size families. Its dual-purpose cooking area provides two separate side-by-side cooking zones: a ribbed grilling surface and a smooth griddle surface. Use the griddle cooking zone for making silver-dollar pancakes, eggs, and other breakfast fare; the grilling cooking area works well for anything from hamburgers, salmon fillets, and marinated tofu to slices of eggplant, summer squash, peppers, and more. Best of all, the grill's ribbed surface sears those tasty grill marks into food, while raising food up and away from excess grease and oil, channeling it down and away from food and into the drip tray for healthier results. A little water can be added to the drip tray to grill without any smoke. Both the grill and the griddle offer a high-quality nonstick surface, which helps ensure lower fat cooking (no need for excess butter or oil), effortless food release, and quick cleanup. Even more, the appliance offers a tempered glass lid that closes to trap in heat while still allowing for checking on food at a glance--the lid also doubles as a wind shield when cooking out doors. With the lid in the closed position, the appliance looks a bit like a briefcase, complete with a carrying handle and an upright-standing design for convenient transport and space-saving storage when not in use. Other highlights include adjustable temperature control, an "on" indicator light, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. A nice choice for at home or to take along to the beach house or cabin, the 1500-watt indoor/outdoor grill measures 19-1/2 by 19-1/4 by 4-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
